Pros
Bootcamps For Change allows members of the fitness community to contribute to something bigger than themselves in their local community. The business model is unique, the connection to the cause is very evident and impactful. As a director, Bootcamps for Change has allowed me to share my skills and talents with others, providing advice, guidance and making business decisions. Katie, the Founder is very supportive and open minded to new ideas. Working at Bootcamps for Change has provided me with the experience of leading a team of volunteers, the pleasure of meeting great business owners and fitness professionals who are all excited to spread the awareness and contribute to the organization. It has been very rewarding to empower others on how they can help homeless youth by collaborating with Bootcamps For Change. Whether it be volunteering with the organization, volunteering at an in-shelter fitness class, contributing through sponsorship or simply by exchanging a smile to someone that is on the streets. My outlook on the future of this organization is positive.
Cons
As an organization run solely on volunteers there are frequent communication and commitment challenges.
